Coastal Waters Forecast

National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC

FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.

Tidal Potomac River and Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay. Forecasts of wave heights do not include effects of wind direction relative to tidal currents. Expect higher waves when winds are blowing against the tidal flow. Waves flat where waters are iced over. Cold fronts will cross the region overnight and late Thursday. Periods of gusty northwest winds are expected as these fronts cross. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed through Wednesday night, and may be needed at times for the wider waters of the Chesapeake Bay through Friday. Freezing spray also looks to be issue at times through Friday and again early next week as Arctic air settles over the region.
